Please note corrections to the following errors. Page references are to the final PDF version.
1. Page 3, Results, second paragraph, lines 7-8:
¿overweight and obesity prevalence was 33% (95% CI 31.1-35.3) and 24% (95% CI 22.4-26.2)¿ should read ¿overweight and obesity prevalence was 8.3% (95% CI 7.1-9.6) and 4.7% (95% CI 3.8-5.7)¿.
2. Page 4, Table 2:
The correct values of mean BMI (SD) in column 3 are:
Severely Obese 25.7 (2.9), Obese 23.4 (2.8), Overweight 21.2 (2.9)
The correct values of overweight and obesity according to the IOTF cut-offs in column 6 are:
Obese 4.7 (3.8-5.7), Overweight 8.3 (7.1-9.6).
3. Page 6, second paragraph, lines 1-8:
¿Prevalence of overweight by the IOTF cut-offs was twice the prevalence by the WHO 2007 reference (33% versus 17%) and prevalence of obesity by the IOTF cutoffs was three times higher than that calculated by the WHO 2007 reference (24% versus 7.5%). Using IOTF cut-offs for overweight and obesity in Pakistani schoolaged children would result in higher estimates than the WHO 2007 reference.¿ should read ¿Prevalence of overweight by the IOTF cut-offs was half the prevalence by the WHO 2007 reference (8% versus 17%) and prevalence of obesity by the IOTF cutoffs was two-third of that calculated by the WHO 2007 reference (5% versus 7.5%). Using IOTF cut-offs for overweight and obesity in Pakistani schoolaged children would result in lower estimates than the WHO 2007 reference.¿
